Good luck with the short stories, but I second Hinny; don't smack yourself around. If the stories want to be 1 or 2k, let them.Damien Walters https://www.blogger.com/profile/02980239504166023814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538649128487202019.post-50795985493534558632010-05-01T22:16:45.258-04:002010-05-01T22:16:45.258-04:00just don't put too much pressure on yourself. ...just don't put too much pressure on yourself. :DKara McElhinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013577325689856288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538649128487202019.post-76212365565337774112010-05-01T10:06:54.100-04:002010-05-01T10:06:54.100-04:00Blog posts, too?

My creative brain is screaming that I'm using "more than what you need to tell the story", but I'm trying to get my short stories to at least 3k words. I know I leave out too much detail in almost all of my E. F.

I mean, I may have written more than that, but the way I do it is start with a base number, then work from there. If I delete 500 words, I'm -500. So the next 500 written don't count, so to speak.<br /><br />So not much in the positive column that week, only a bit over 1,600, but that still enough to make a story. <br /><brK.

Sorry, you've done nothing to provoke me and I need provocation to do it. <br /><br />Maybe let go of the pressure of writing more words and it will ease it's way back in with better results. I know that always works for me. <br /><br />Or even if you make a little time for yourself over the next week say 45 min every Kara McElhinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013577325689856288noreply@blogger.com
